Alright so i have about 8 dz shells, my buddy has 200 socks and another friend has a lot more socks. My question is what else should i add to our spread? I am making a vortex machine this weekend and thought about making some flyers also. But havent decided how to make the flyers. What else should we add to our spread? Any advice will help, thank you!!

Goose magnets work pretty good. Usually around 1000+ total decoys and you can't go wrong. I always used to use rags, silos, magnets and shells. I have been adding full bodies when the budget will allow.

Fliers and vortex machines are good tools to have in the arsenal, but don't get stuck on the notion that you have to use them. If you feel you have enough decoys, it's time to start replacing your worst quality dekes. Also, investing in conceilment, good white camo, good low profile layout blind, and a ghille blanket so you can hide in any situation. Also e-caller. Clear sounds at volume are important.

I have about 5 different "albums" of snow goose sounds. I use snow bait, snow reaper, snows on the prairie (the newer ones) and i've also mixed tracks from those into custom tracks. I don't know that any one track is any better than the other, the key is no distortion.
